Maggiori informazioni sul libro
The Austronesian-speaking Sama peoples are one of the most widespread cultural groups in Southeast Asia. Among them, the sea-nomadic Sama Dilaut, part of the Sama-Bajau linguistic sub-group, form a distinct community both socially and culturally. The performing arts play a crucial role in their life and cultural identity. However, previous studies have largely overlooked their music and dance forms. This edited volume aims to address this gap in knowledge by focusing on kulintangan and other types of instrumental music, song repertoire, and dance. Key topics include: continuity and transformation in Sama Dilaut performing arts; the negotiation of identity through music in the context of globalization; the impact of transnational flows on their music and dance; the relationship between Sama Dilaut performing arts and those of surrounding communities; and how constructions of nationhood influence their music-making. This collection seeks to illuminate the rich cultural expressions of the Sama Dilaut, providing insights into their artistic practices and the broader social dynamics at play.
